Casual interview with one mech engineer from the team. Easy to schedule a time and had a good conversation. Started as normal with some info about the company and then immediately to technical questions for the next 30 or so minutes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical interview, questions about vibration and preventing resonance. Also, about mounting an antenna to a satellite and design decisions.
Lots of questions on cantilevers, natural frequency and bracket design. They want you to derive the equations and build a bracket yourself during the interview which is hard with the whiteboard and in 3D
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How to reduce natural frequency in beam and increase second moment of inertia
White board questions to test mechanical engineering fundamentals, I would recommend brushing up on first principles, deflection, natural frequencies and materials. Be prepared to talk through your design and back it up, know the endurance limit and how to design for a infitie fatigue life.

Question 1
Design a fixture to attach a device on a satelite, describe your design.
